Proving Faults in Road Traffic Collisions

When you figured in a collision that was obviously not your fault, the court doesn’t immediately honor your entitlement to compensation. The court has to know whether the other party involved is indeed at fault or not through the facts you will present. Yet there are times when the facts are not cut-and-dry, which can make personal injury claims rather stressful and time-consuming. Fortunately, a lawyer can help you prove faults and determine liabilities.

Using your Insurance Policy

By law, you are required to have a personal injury protection (PIP) insurance. With this protection in place, you are insured for a minimum of $15,000 regardless of who’s at fault in the accident. Optionally, you can purchase medical payments coverage, which can compensate for your expenses.

Studying the Type of Collision

Usually, if the other driver failed to adhere to certain “rules of the road,” they are considered at fault. As such, the at-fault driver (or their liability coverage) will have to pay for the remaining personal injury expenses.

Tying All Evidence Together

A car accident lawyer can help the jury see the defendant’s negligence by using the available evidence and presenting the salient points of your legal complaint. Such a legal professional uses his extensive background in litigation of personal injury cases related to car accidents so that parties at fault cannot escape the liability they owe.
